The Ballybay 5 Day Classic finished on Friday last week and what a fantastic weeks fishing it was. A total of just over 1011kg of fish were weighed in over the course of the 5 days and some fantastic weights were taken from all venues during the week.
Going into the final day, Kevin Johnson and Tony Green were battling it out for 1st and 2nd place. As the two of them were heading to Lough Egish, this was going to be a matter of where the fish were going to show up. Tony Green drew the Roadside and managed a weight of 4.625Kgs, while Kevin headed off to Fuzzy Burgers and had a weight of 12.550Kgs which saw him take 1st place overall. 3rd 4th & 5th placings remained the same from day 4.
